I'm expecting to be a about a 1 point underdog here.

A couple thoughts I'll share to start:

1) We should have the confidence boost from beating Miami to stay focused and keep the train moving, so to speak, vs. WMU.

2) However, it's also true that we've had issues playing on the road. Even in our only road win at Eastern Michigan, it took us longer than it should to get going.

Any word on where might be a pre-game watering hole for the Tuesday travelers to Kalamazoo?

Definitely need to get a hot start or at least prevent one from WMU. Don't want to play catchup on the road.

It could be a strength on strength game as our offense is 2nd in the MAC as is their defense.

Their offense is 7th in the MAC with our defense at 6th (which is higher than what I thought it would be).

Two of the three final games will be stout tests and UMass needs to be put away early as they gave Buffalo a game.

A win in Kalamazoo, I think, could really be like last year's win up at Toledo in terms of momentum and controlling the destiny of the trip to Detroit.

The weather is supposed to be lousy according to the WMU board. What else would you expect in mid-November in Michigan?

Is there a designated section in the stadium for our fans?

I was wondering at first if this was a Daryl Kyle type situation where he just unexpectedly died in his sleep. No cause of death has been released but it isn't. He was involved in a police chase. The police lost him but the car was later found crashed and he was found nearby with a gunshot wound - possibly self-inflicted.

According to the news, he died of a self inflicted gunshot wound after
fleeing a traffic stop.

Kid was only 24.

What a waste.

So sad! I will pray for him and his family.

[I'll await the autopsy results before speculating more about what may have happened, but I do have hypotheses.]

I think tragedy would be a more fitting word.

In offensive production WMU is ranked 119th including 121st in passing. This says Western could struggle if they fall behind in the game as they did against Miami. Ohio is ranked 40th in offensive production, 21st in rushing. The line has Ohio -2.5 for this game favored as usual for its MAC game.
